Mizu Taka or Mizu Sohma, before she was adopted, was cut off from her family since her birth. Being the other zodiac cat, she is the only one who has ever known the other part to the zodiac story. Because she is the other person possessed by a vengeful spirit of the cat, she was told never to come in contact with any of the Sohma residences. But what happens when she does and what if Akito finds out?
My name is Mizu Sohma well now Mizu Taka. I was adopter by a nice family when my first parents killed themselves, or "I" killed them so they claimed. I still think back to it all and always remember the one who mattered. The good from my past and for that person I will never allow myself to forget. Anything.
"Mizu! Come down for breakfast your going to be late for school.", her mother calls desperately. "Okay mom be right there!", she replies getting sleepily out of bed and walking to the bathroom.
She gets dressed for school and fixes her black hair so the mixture of white underneath it doesn't show. While she is fixing her hair she tells herself, "Okay I have to be careful. Like always I can't run into anyone from my family, or else. I have to be strong and make sure my life doesn't fall apart like the rest of my family. Because of what I am I'm not suppose to even be remotely happy, and I am. I don't know how long it will last but I have to make the best of it." She smiles to herself in the mirror than runs out of the bathroom, down the stairs, and to the kitchen.
"Sorry mom. I'm going to be late if I stay and eat breakfast, so I'll eat some toast on the way!" Her mother smiles, "It's okay I don't want you to be late for school just make sure you eat, you know what happens when you don't. Oh! Don't forget, take your medicine." Mizu looks at her mom, smiles, and takes the medicine case her mother is holding out for her to take. "I will mom. Bye, I love you!"
She runs out the door waving goodbye to her mother. As she turns the corner she stops smiling and makes sure she takes the long way to school to avoid any of the other zodiac members, or Sohma residence, as instructed. She thinks to herself, "Why does my life have to be this way, why can't I be free, why can't I see the others who are like me, the family I belong to. I only see Akito, who really scares me. Why can't I be…why can't I be normal, or at least see my family members, but even that is forbidden everything for me is forbidden." Before she turns the corner she peeks over a fence, which ran along the part of the street she walked upon, and catches a glimpse of a boy with blond hair, randomly wearing a girl's uniform. She smiles and giggles to herself a little at the sight of him being silly. "I miss being able to talk to him. I miss him being there to take the pain away." She shakes her head side to side and says to herself, "No I have to stop thinking so much and I have to stop sneaking just to see his face if Akito were to find out, I don't want to know what the results would be." She quickened her pace and made it to school with time to spare. As she walks threw the halls she tries to avoid the people who try to hurt her, and succeeds in hiding from them for today. She slips into her class taking a bite of toast, but puts it away as soon as the teacher enters the room. She takes out her books and begins to take notes in her first class but finds herself doodling in her book instead of paying attention. The teacher must have seen this, for she called on Mizu for the next question. She stands up, says the answer, and sits down.
"This class is so boring, I did this stuff already, only 10 more seconds", she looks desperately at the clock as her thoughts fade away and she gathers her things as the bell rings. After each bell the same thing happens, but after sixth period she makes her way to the roof taking out a box of cookies her mom had given her, but lays down leaving the cookies next to her. "Why do I feel so sick, I need to take my medicine, and eat something but I feel to depressed to even move. I have to stop thinking so much, Akito couldn't have seen me." She rolls over onto her side and looks out into the sky that seems to have no end. "How would he have gotten out of the main house, why would he get out of bed just because of a 'filthy' cat?" She moves her arm up a little to look at her bracelet. "Why am I possessed by the cat, which was never mentioned in the Chinese zodiac story or zodiac, even the other cat is mentioned but my part isn't. Does my life really have no meaning like the story of the spirit inside me does? I am the only one who even knows that part of the stupid story. Well Akito does and he made that perfectly clear last time I met with him."
Will Mizu's fear about Akito seeing her come true, or is she just being paranoid? Find out in the next chapter of When the Stars Come Out.
